Sunday 16 June - Leather Curious - Fire & Blood

Cupping @ NM Clubhouse

Albuquerque Leather Daddys present Leather CuriousThis workshop will explain and demonstrate Fire Cupping and Blood Cupping. Our instructor will be Rowan.Traditional Cupping Therapy, also known as dry cupping, is a form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Fire is introduced into the cup to heat the air, and the cup placed on the skin. As the air cools, a suction is created. This therapy has been used to help with pain, relax muscles, encourage blood flow, reduce inflammation, improve relaxation and general well-being. Cups may be made of glass, plastic, or other materials.Blood cupping, also known as wet cupping is like this but with one difference. Before the cups are applied, the area is sanitized, then tiny holes are made in the skin using a plum blossom, a device with multiple small metal spikes. In this case the suction draws out blood.Attendees may request to try these techniques be tried upon themselves. If you wish to try, wear clothing you can remove easily.Leather Daddys hosts a Leather Curious event each month as a way to introduce the curious to various topics in a safe, welcoming, and fun environment. Stop by to learn something completely new or brush up something you want to better understand. One or more experts in the topic will be there to demonstrate and answer questions.

Topics may include things like etiquette, rope, bondage, negotiation, cigar culture and play, flogging and impact play, and safe and consensual interactions. Check out the upcoming events or calendar to learn specifics.• What to bring: Great questions if you want to participate, otherwise just sit back and listen!
